New Talent Set

As we announced recently, a new set of red talents has been added: Legendmakers. This set has 6 subsets, each containing one active talent and several supporting talents. The player can choose whatever combination suits his and his hero’s playing style. But these talents can only be strengthened with two support talents! After that, attempts to strengthen them won’t work.

Battle «Ecstasy Set»

The inspiration for Battle Ecstasy was, as you can guess, Flowing Fury. The goal was to bring the mechanic up-to-date with the new aggressive gameplay. We hope that the new «scorcher» will be to your liking.

A new “cookie!”

Breath of Life, commonly called “cookie,” finally has an older brother! Note that Taste of Life is an exclusive talent but isn’t a part of any sets. It belongs to the battle group comprised of unique (purple) talents, which means it’s subject to that group’s 15-second global cooldown.

Base hero: Maiden/NymphFeatures: New voiceover, new animation of the ability «Bewitch»Price: 19 Gold

Merry Scout

Snowmaiden

Heroes

Nox/Vryl

One of the goals of update 10.6 was to make the game more complicated for assassins and gankers, but this distanced Nox too much from her role as assassin.

To make Nox competitive again, both of her builds have been slightly strengthened.

Aggressive Assault

The damage of each attack has been increased to 85%

Toxic Emission

Maximum charges increased to 4

Archer/Amazon

Amazon is still very strong in the late game, but in the early game the current aggressive strategies can easily make her life unbearable.

To increase her survivability in the early game and her mobility in the late game, her Redeploy talent has been significantly improved.

Redeploy

Cooldown reduced from 20 to 12 seconds

The strength of the shield she receives when she uses a talent upgraded with Active Defense has been increased by 20%

The shield’s duration has been reduced from 5 seconds to 4

Demonologist

Like Amazon, Demonologist is very strong in the late game.

That is why we decided to improve his control talents, giving him more opportunity to show his full potential in today’s aggressive gameplay environment.

Mindflayer

The strength bonus Archons receive when they are targeted by an ability upgraded with Ascendance has been increased by ~25%.

Demon Trap

Cooldown has been reduced from 20 to 15 seconds

The trap’s lifetime has been doubled, from 6 to 12 seconds

Shogun

After 10.6 was released, Shogun’s Strength build became quite strong.

The worst effect was that, thanks to a simpler passive class ability stack, Shogun’s Stamina build became quite worthless. So some plusses of his Strength build have been moved to Stamina instead. Shogun’s survivability still depends mostly on his Strength, but a Stamina build Shogun will now be more useful to his team than previously.

Warchief’s Strike

The reduction of Stamina once the Crushing Blow upgrade is learned has been increased to 30%.

Now, when Crushing Blow is learned, its Stamina reduction is dependent on the hero’s base Stamina (ignoring the Warchief ability).

Charmed Plate

This talent’s damage has been increased by 30%

Now this ability depends on the hero’s base Stamina (ignoring the Warchief ability)

Sacred Banner

The max Health and Health Regeneration upon learning the Last Stronghold upgrade has been increased by 30%

Now this ability depends on the hero’s base Stamina (ignoring the Warchief ability)

Wanderer

Decisive Attack

If the Wanderer is hit with a control effect while using this talent, he will now suffer the full control effect after the Decisive Attack is complete.

Changes in the game mode schedule

The new tournament replaced some game modes. There fore the schedule also had to be adapted. In addition, the Apocalypse mod will not be available during the Christmas and New Year holidays. The zombies won't ruin our joyful festivities under any circumstances!

Battles

Winter Borderlands map.

The Health and Energy bars of selected soldiers are now highlighted.

Fixed a bug where the game session ended prematurely if the player was dying in battle playing with Brawler/Meijin and had his Whirlwind ability active as well as Way of the Dragon set was ready to use.

Fixed a game crash that occurred when clicking Ignore on a hero portrait in battle

Castle

*Refined the castle’s hero window. It now displays:

The number of skill points the player will receive for reaching the next level.

“XP till next level: 0/300” is now shown, instead of just “0/300.”

Messages that the hero will be able to equip exclusive talents at level 15 and legendary talents at level 25.

The offers of silver for the resources in the Fair were changed in a following way:

The amount of silver in the offers was reduced about 2 times.

The price on these offers was reduced in such a way, that small sums of silver got relative more expensive while big sums got cheaper.

Fixed a “fatal server response error” that appeared for some players when unbinding a talent with rune.

Fixed a “fatal server response error” when trying to upgrade a talent with a talent that was located in one of the hero’s talent panels. Now talents that are located in one of the hero’s talent panels can no longer be used to upgrade other talents.

Fixed a bug which caused new accounts to show blue talents bound to the free heroes.

In hero stats, on the talent panel page, “Life Drain” is once again displayed in the explanation of the Damage stat.

Fixed a bug with displaying the hero’s portraits when changing skins.

Fixed a bug that made it so some skins could only be changed by double-clicking.

Fixed a bug that prevented the hero’s strength reserves from being displayed in the hero ribbon even when they were completely full.

Fixed a bug with sending heroes to the tavern. The refill button now adds all 4 required heroes at once.

Fixed a bug that every once in a while displayed hero name colors incorrectly in the castle.

Fixed a bug that prevented the confirmation dialog from appearing when binding an exclusive (orange) talent to heroes.

Fixed a bug that prevented the display of the status “Lockdown. After our victory, our clan is deciding whether or not to take this clan as a vassal,” if the clan would be the 6th vassal and had pressed Surrender during the siege.

Fixed a bug in the library where class talents were sometimes displayed for all heroes.

Fixed a bug that caused the game freeze or glitch in the castle.

Christmas tree

In honor of the Christmas and New Year holidays, our players will be able to build a special festive building – the Christmas tree! It will create 2 Prime crystals every 8 hours, which doubles if the castle is currently in the Golden Age.

You can plant your own Christmas tree in the following way: in the bottom left corner of your castle click on the "Construction" - "Production" - choose the "Christmas Tree" and plant it!
